Man, Foreign People Are Getting All the Good Stuff Today
So after the international trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and the Korean trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, why not go for three with this new international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man? Although it’s mostly the same footage, I found it overall a lot more appealing than the U.S. trailer — I honestly don’t know if it’s the new footage, or it just has better pacing, or if the first trailer was just fucked by me seeing it so quickly after the Avengers trailer. Probably the latter. Olivia Wilde could have offered to give me a tongue bath after I saw the Avengers trailer and I’d have been like, “Yeah, in a few minutes, I just want to pause and see if I can figure out what’s riding the flying motorcycle thing.”
